Build Back America chargers?

My guess is CCS because Tesla has been discussing CCS access to both Tesla and non-Tesla.
My guess is no connector at all, since there's no such thing as Build Back America chargers. 
J/k.
There was the "Build Back Better" bill/proposal, which died in Congress. And there's the "Electrify America" charging network, which has existed for several years.
And then there's the "Bipartisan Infrastructure Law", which I'm assuming is what you're thinking about. It was actually signed into law in 2021 and contains money to help fund installation of a nationwide network of fast chargers.

And, like Tam said, they will have CCS connectors. But some may have other connectors in addition to the CCS connectors.
The proposed (not yet finalized) DOT rules can be found here: https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environmen...dors/resources/nprm_evcharging_unofficial.pdf
From page 67 (emphasis added):
So I read this as saying that every stall has to have a permanently attached CCS1 connector. But Tesla could add an additional cable with a Tesla connector and still qualify for government funding.
